- Extension of the ceasefire

🟫ON THE EDGE, ARAB SOURCES BELIEVE, TRUMP-HIT THEIR BOATS, HEZBOLLAH ATTACKS 7 TIMES TODAY, A CHILD COMES HOME, CONTENTIOUS HIGH COURT HEARING, 4 YEAR OLD INJURED IN TERROR, iPHONE ISSUE - Thu eve April 23 🅸🆂🆁🅰️🅴🅻 🄽🄾🅆 HEADLINES

📺VIDEO - IDF discovers a Hezbollah underground base, hidden beneath a women’s clothing store and attached to another civilian home in south Lebanon.

⚠️ Defense Minister: “Prepared for the resumption of war.” A number of institutions have been instructed to prepare for an emergency situation. Cabinet to meet at 20:00.

🇮🇷🇺🇸USA vs IRAN

.. ARAB SOURCES BELIEVE Trump’s extension of the ceasefire is a smokescreen ahead of a large-scale ground operation. They posit that the U.S. is preparing for a physical takeover of strategic port cities in order to permanently break the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz.

.. BLACKMAILING SHIPS - Tasnim News Agency: Iran has collected tolls from ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz and deposited the funds into the treasury account, Iranian officials said. ( No confirmation if this is reality or just a strong desire. )

.. PAKISTAN - TALKS FAILED - Pakistani source, the talks between Iran and the U.S. failed because they demand completely different things from each other.

.. US CARRIER BUSH - will enter in range within 48 hours.

.. TRUMP - HIT THEIR BOATS - Trump: I have ordered the United States Navy to fire upon and destroy any vessel, even small boats, that lays mines in the waters of the Strait of Hormuz.

🇱🇧🇮🇱LEBANON/HEZBOLLAH vs ISRAEL

.. INTERCEPTION fired from Israel to south Lebanon, as another suicide drone from Hezbollah targeted IDF forces, attack no. 5. No alarm in Israel.

.. ANTI-TANK MISSILE - Hezbollah fired an anti-tank missile at IDF forces in Lebanon. Thank G-d, it missed.

.. AND A MORTAR - and fired a mortar in the afternoon.

.. AND FIRED ANTI-AIRCRAFT MISSILE at an IDF jet.

.. HEZBOLLAH EVAC - Hezbollah is asking its members and supporters to evacuate from Dahieh, Beirut.

.. TALKS between Israel and Lebanon, via their ambassadors, with the US State Dept mediating, will take place at 23:00 Israel time in Washington, DC. While Lebanon keeps demanding, it remains unclear how they can do anything to neutralize Hezbollah.

Lebanese Prime Minister : "We cannot live with what is called the 'buffer zone' in southern Lebanon. Any agreement will require a complete withdrawal of the IDF from the south of the country.” ( Perfectly fair, IF Lebanon can disarm Hezbollah and prevent any threat of attack into northern Israel. Hint: They can’t. )

▪️A CHILD COMES HOME - The 7-year-old girl who was critically injured as a result of the blast from an Iranian ballistic missile hit in Arad was released to her home - after a prolonged medical battle that included a series of complex surgeries. ( Thank G-d! )

▪️DURING TODAY’S CONTENTIOUS HIGH COURT HEARING, the judges were temporarily evacuated due to concerns that bystanders might break through security.

.. Judge Solberg on the topic of a State Commission of Inquiry: "There are very heavy costs to a judicial order at this time for establishing a state commission of inquiry. We must be aware of the disadvantages. Since the election season has already arrived, and we so much want the public's trust in such a commission, isn’t this the ideal time to leave the task to the government that will be after the elections?"

.. Judge Kavuv - “I can't understand how the impression was formed that the High Court is against the state, someone spread this message.” ( This is called being either extremely out of touch or living in your own bubble. The answer to the honored judge is: YOU (the court) spread the message, half the country believes the court is out of touch and has moved into areas far out of its authority, by any reasonable definition. )

.. Judge Solberg to the lawyer representing the petitioners - “Most of your arguments are suitable for a protest in the city square, not for the court.”

▪️EXTRA FOOD FOR MASS MURDERERS - The High Court, in the ongoing saga of prison conditions for the Nuchba terrorists, who invaded, tortured, raped, mutilated, and burned Jews in Israel, has ordered the prison service to provide them addiitonal food if asked. Currently, by order of the Min. of Nat. Security, they are provided minimum adult nutritional needs per professional nutritionists - and a number of heavy set terrorists have lost significant weight in prison.

▪️TERROR - SAMARIA - A 4 year-old child was injured in a stone-throwing attack at a passing Jewish car on a main road near Gilad. IDF forces have launched searches for the terrorist, and a siege has been imposed on the village of Madama.

▪️MILITARY ECONOMY - Israel has delivered the Barak MX air defense system to Slovakia following a 560 million euro (NIS 2 billion) deal signed in 2024, ahead of schedule.

▪️HAIFA AIRPORT - resumed flights today.

▪️IPHONE SECURITY ISSUE - A serious security breach was discovered in the iPhone . Apple released an urgent update for two generations of the operating system. The breach allows to save deleted notifications, thus exposing sensitive information. Update your iPhone as soon as possible.

Comes to Mind

akiva@mpaths.com (Reb Akiva) — Thu, 23 Apr 2026 06:58:47 +0300

by Reb Gutman Locks

Comes to Mind

For some reason, once in a while someone’s face will come to mind. For no apparent reason at all, all of a sudden, you think of someone you know, even if you haven’t seen him or her in years. Why does this happen?

We may never find out why it happened, or maybe we will see him a few seconds later walking right toward us! Is it a message from Heaven, or a coincidence, or maybe he is thinking of us right then?

We don’t know why a buried thought comes to the surface, but there is something we can do that will cover all of the options no matter why that person came to mind. Whenever it happens, simply say, “Hashem bless him.”

This covers all of the possible reasons he may have come to mind.

And, when you ask Hashem to bless someone, Hashem will also bless you.

🅸🆂🆁🅰️🅴🅻 🄽🄾🅆 - “Is it true that you are Candice Owen’s and Tucker Carleson’s primary Israel news source?”, umm, no comment.

🟧TRUMP TO NUKE? IRAN ATTACKS CARGO SHIPS, MURDERER ELIMINATED, and BIBLE QUIZ WINNER - Wed afternoon April 22 Israel NOW headlines

🟧TRUMP TO NUKE? IRAN ATTACKS CARGO SHIPS, MURDERER ELIMINATED, and BIBLE QUIZ WINNER - Wed afternoon April 22 Israel NOW headlines

🇮🇱Happy Israeli Independence Day!

🇮🇷🇺🇸USA vs IRAN ceasefire over / not over -

.. Trump requested to NUKE Iran? Hint: Fake news. “‘CIA analyst Larry Johnson’ published that Trump requested the nuclear codes in a White House meeting - and was prevented from getting them by General Dan Quinn. And in a recent meeting Trump demanded them again.” Fake-ness hints - single source, official denial, no evidence of such a meeting, and the US president IS the SOLE authority for ordering a nuclear strike. He doesn’t have or need the codes, he has an army official who follows him around with the “nuclear football” launch codes and command suitcase.

.. Reports of Iranian attacks on multiple (3) ship attacks near the Strait of Hormuz. The IRGC claims they have taken control of 2 cargo ships and are bringing them to Iranian ports.

Spokesman for the National Security Committee in the Iranian Parliament: "Just as in the 40 days of fighting we gave the enemy a decisive and crushing response, we will not remain silent against Epstein's sea robbers. An eye for an eye, an oil tanker for an oil tanker, Epstein's men will not turn a game they have already lost into a victory.”

.. Pakistan warns Iran: “the hourglass is running out.”

.. Iran threatens the internet: The Iranian news agency associated with the Revolutionary Guards published a detailed mapping of the submarine internet cables and digital infrastructure that cross the Persian Gulf.

♦️ELIMINATED IN GAZA - The IDF eliminated a terrorist near the Yellow Line who posed a threat to IDF forces, the eliminated terrorist participated in the murderous massacre at Nir Oz kibbutz on October 7.

🇮🇱NATIONAL BIBLE QUIZ WINNER - Hodaya Cohen, an 11th-grade student from the Rabbi Har Be'eran Ulpana in Gedera, resident of Nir Akiva moshav in the south. Three years after the previous winner - Israel has a new Bible Quiz winner. ( Previous years events were not held due to the war(s). )

🟦INTERCEPTION, US vs IRAN CEASEFIRE OVER / NOT OVER, LEBANON UPDATES, and THE IMPOSTER AT THE CEREMONY - Wed morn April 22 Israel NOW headlines

akiva@mpaths.com (Reb Akiva) — Wed, 22 Apr 2026 10:02:14 +0300

🟦INTERCEPTION, US vs IRAN CEASEFIRE OVER / NOT OVER, LEBANON UPDATES, and THE IMPOSTER AT THE CEREMONY - Wed morn April 22 Israel NOW headlines

🇮🇱Happy Israeli Independence Day!

📺VIDEO - IDF interception over Metula, northern border town.

⭕INTERCEPTION over Metulla (northern border town) with no alarm this morning.

🇮🇷🇺🇸USA vs IRAN ceasefire over / not over -

.. Trump: At Pakistan's request, I am extending the ceasefire until a proper response from Iran, whose leadership is divided.

.. Iran: Iran does not recognize the extension of the ceasefire, and may or may not comply with it according to its national interests. And Parliament Speaker Ghalibaf: "Trump's extension of the ceasefire is completely illogical" ( we agree ).

.. Iran believes: Advisor to the Chairman of the Iranian Parliament, The loser cannot dictate terms, and the continuation of the siege is no different from a bomb and must be met with a military response. Trump's extension of the ceasefire is an attempt to buy time in order to launch a surprise attack. Now is the time for Iran to take the initiative.

.. Iran attacked a cargo ship in the Strait of Hormuz. The captain of a container ship reported that a warship belonging to the Iranian Revolutionary Guard approached the ship and fired, causing serious damage to the bridge, with no warning.

.. Senior Americans, "Naval actions against Iran have been expanded to include areas outside the Middle East."

.. ANALYSIS - President Trump believes that the US naval blockade will break the Iranians within a short period, specifically mentioning it is costing Iran $500 billion a day. At the same time, Iranian rhetoric continues to spin that they have won and their demands must be met.

In the meantime, world pressure grows as dependency on cheap Middle East resources (oil, gas, and fertilizer) is baked into many world economies with no reasonable alternatives, though not directly affecting the US.

The US ‘let’s not smash everything’ and the Western ‘maximum humanitarianism’ approach is fundamentally incompatible with the other side. The situation will come to a head, again, soon.

🇱🇧🇮🇱LEBANON/HEZBOLLAH vs ISRAEL updates -

.. Hezbollah rocket fire at IDF forces near the border by Metulla, a clear ceasefire violation.

.. IDF targeted killing: one dead and two injured in the Bekaa. Israel takes the position that actions preparing for an attack allow for a valid preemptive response, Hezbollah says this is an Israeli ceasefire violation.

.. IDF continues demolishing Lebanese border village buildings, reported this time in Houla.

🔹INCIDENT AT THE NATIONAL INDEPENDENCE DAY EVENT - A TikTok impersonator arrived at the event dressed in (a copy of) the official office robes of the Sephardic Chief Rabbi of Israel, including a closely matching beard and eyeglasses. He was believed to be the chief rabbi, seated appropriately, and even approached for blessings.

The actual chief rabbi didn’t attend as he wasn’t feeling well. The Shin Bet (national internal security) was apparently upset they were not informed the rabbi was not attending (per reports).

🇮🇱HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY, THE IRAN CEASEFIRE ENDS AT…, US vs IRAN updates, and CANCELLED? - Tue night April 21 Israel NOW headlines

akiva@mpaths.com (Reb Akiva) — Tue, 21 Apr 2026 22:49:00 +0300

🇮🇱HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY, THE IRAN CEASEFIRE ENDS AT…, US vs IRAN updates, and CANCELLED? - Tue night April 21 Israel NOW headlines

🇮🇱Happy Israeli Independence Day!

📺VIDEO - at Independence Day celebrations, Rabbi Zarbiv, famous for his Torah lessons while driving an IDF D9 bulldozer demolishing Hamas positions in Gaza, dances with Argentinian president Milei.

⏰THE US - IRAN CEASEFIRE ENDS AT -

At 1:30 AM this morning (Wed) Israel time, which is 2:00 AM Iran time, at 6:30 PM US Eastern time (per the 14 day original ceasefire statements).

OR the ceasefire ends tomorrow (Wed) at 8:30 PM US Eastern time, which is 3:30 AM Thursday morning Israel time and 4:00 AM Iran time (per apparent statements by Trump).

OR it ends on Wednesday at “no specific time” (per Iran).

We hope that clears things up.

🇮🇷🇺🇸USA vs IRAN updates -

.. VP Vance heads to the White House for “an urgent meeting with the president”.

.. Iranian Member of Parliament: There is no Iranian delegation in Pakistan and what the media is promoting is fake news. The naval blockade is the latest malicious action by the Americans even though they agreed to all our conditions for negotiations. ( I think the term is drinking your own Kool Aide. )

.. Iran informed mediators that it will send a delegation to Pakistan only if the US lifts the naval blockade on the Strait of Hormuz.

.. US Treasury Department: Imposing new sanctions related to Iran.

.. During Israeli Independence celebrations, Iran held a Missile Parade, displaying dozens of missile launchers and chants of “death to America, death to Israel”.

.. Iran's Foreign Minister: "Blocking Iran's ports is an act of war and therefore a violation of the ceasefire”.

.. The U.S. ambassador to Israel has been urgently called back to Washington for talks at the White House.

.. Reports from Iran state that there is significant movement / transport of ballistic missiles all over Iran.

.. Envoy Witkoff and Kushner’s plane is headed to Washington, DC instead of to Pakistan.

.. The commander of the IRGC Aerospace Force Brigadier General Majid Mousavi warned Iran’s southern neighbours that if their territory and facilities are used by enemies to attack Iran, “they should say goodbye to oil production in the Middle East."

.. Southern Lebanese are leaving and heading north, under the assumption that either due to the Iran ceasefire ending or Hezbollah’s attack on IDF positions, that fighting in Lebanon will resume.

❗️Iranian official news: Iran's decision to not attend talks in Pakistan this Wednesday is final.

❗️Reports are that the US VP’s travel to Pakistan for negotiations has been cancelled.

🇦🇷Argentinian president Javier Milei abruptly left the Israeli Independence Day ceremony before his expected departure. No official reason was given for his sudden departure, though speculation is he may be quickly leaving Israel in case war resumes and the airport closes.

🔘HEZBOLLAH ATTACKS / SIRENS, CEASEFIRE TALKS OR NOT? KKL PARK CLOSURES - Tue eve April 21 Israel NOW headlines

akiva@mpaths.com (Reb Akiva) — Tue, 21 Apr 2026 19:55:00 +0300

📺VIDEO - the start of Independence Day celebrations at the Western Wall, Jerusalem.

🔘HEZBOLLAH ATTACKS / SIRENS, CEASEFIRE TALKS OR NOT? KKL PARK CLOSURES - Tue eve April 21 Israel NOW headlines

🅸🆂🆁🅰️🅴🅻 🄽🄾🅆 - “You are more factual than the mainstream news”, subscriber “P”

🇮🇱Independence Day tonight.

⭕ROCKET ALARMS on the northern border, Kfar Yuval area. IDF: Initially said false alarm. Media: Something exploded in the sky (could be a mistakenly launched interceptor). Possibly a suicide drone launched at Israel per one report.

Also reports of a Hezbollah rocket attack launched against IDF forces in Lebanon, which may have been responsible for setting off the alarms in Israel. This would be a major ceasefire violation.

Update, alarms set off by a drone and its interception. IDF: blatant violations of the ceasefire agreement.

Fog of war - situation unclear.

▪️HEAVY GPS JAMMING - reported in central Israel. Mapping apps may not work.

🇮🇷🇺🇸CEASEFIRE TALKS? OR NOT?

.. Ceasefire end: technically, US EDT 6:30 PM tonight, Israel time 1:30 AM tonight-tomorrow morning, Iran time 2:00 AM tonight-tomorrow morning. But in common terms Trump is saying “ends on Wednesday”, and the US seems to be waiting on talks to either happen .. or not.

.. From the Iran negotiating team, Prof. Marandi: Everyone should immediately leave the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, and Kuwait. Sailors on all ships in the Persian Gulf must also prepare to evacuate their ships. Time is running out. ( A pretty serious threat. )

.. Pakistan: Formal response from Iran on attending has not been received. Pakistan making strong effort to convince Iranians to attend.

.. US VP Vance has not departed from the US to talks yet, and the flight time is 13 1/2 hours, and neither have envoys Witkoff or Kushner. No reason to depart if Iran hasn’t agreed to attend.

.. Revolutionary Guards Commander's Representative Haji Sadeq: There are no negotiations at the moment and we will negotiate when the enemy accepts our conditions. Iran is ready to fire the 101st wave of attacks.

❗️KKL PARK CLOSURES - the KKL has decided to close a number of parks / forests across the country, due to concerns about missile debris (until fully inspected) and the possible restart of hostilities (noting that forests are “open areas” and not defended).

Closed until further notice:

* Rosh HaAyin Forest

* Kola Forest (including Nachshonim, Elad)

* HaKoah Forest (including Bareket)

* Shoham Forest

* Ben Shemen Forest

* Canada Park

* Hulda Forest

* Eshtaul Forest

⚫MOSSAD HERO, WHAT’s WITH IRAN, and LEBANON, INCIDENT IN JUDEA, ARSON TERROR ARRESTS IN THE UK, and SCAMMING THE BLACKMAILERS - Tue afternoon April 21 Israel NOW headlines

🅸🆂🆁🅰️🅴🅻 🄽🄾🅆 - “You are more factual than the mainstream news”, subscriber “P”

🇮🇱Memorial Day for the fallen soldiers and terror victims in Israel, may G-d avenge their blood!

🇮🇱Independence Day starts tonight.

🩸A HERO HAS FALLEN - “During operation Roaring Lion, Mossad agent ‘M’, of Ashdod, fell outside Israel on mission which led to the success against Iran.” Though his falling was in 2023, the info is just released now. May his family be comforted among the mourners of Zion and Jerusalem, and may G-d avenge his blood!

🇮🇷🇺🇸WHAT’S WITH IRAN?

.. Iranian Foreign Minister Araghchi claims that no delegation has gone to Pakistan for nuclear talks with the US.

.. Pakistan: Another round of talks between the US and Iran will take place tomorrow morning.

.. Official Iranian TV: "So far, no delegation has been sent from Iran to Islamabad, whether a main delegation or a primary or secondary subordinate delegation."

.. AP says per Pakistani mediators: the US Vice President and the Iranian Parliament Speaker Qalibaf will arrive tomorrow.

.. US navy boarded a second sanctioned Iranian tanker in the Indian Ocean, which they allege is transporting sanctioned Iranian oil.

.. Chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff: "The United States is ready to resume large-scale military operations against Iran 'at a moment's notice'"

.. Pakistan asked the US and Iran to extend the ceasefire for an additional two weeks. Being that Iran has closed transit of the Strait of Hormuz, it is very unlikely Trump will accept.

.. Trump: We’ve identified that the Iranians are moving their missiles. Yesterday we caught a tanker with "gifts" from China (chemicals for missile fuel).

.. Scamming the blackmailers: The Iranians have been blackmailing the shipping companies, demanding million dollar payments to get a pass to go safely through the Strait of Hormuz. Interestingly, companies whose ships are stuck and waiting are now receiving fraudulent demands for crypto payments to guarantee safe passage - meaning scammers are now trying to take advantage of the blackmailers to steal from their potential victims.

🇱🇧🇮🇱AND WITH LEBANON - Lebanese media: There will be a meeting Thursday at the US State Department (assumably between the Israeli and Lebanese ambassadors to the US) which will focus on, extending the ceasefire and determining the time and place for the start of negotiations. Contacts with the US regarding extending the ceasefire have shown positive indicators, with the extension likely to range between 20 and 40 additional days.

( This seems.. unlikely. The real challenge is the Lebanese governments inability to coral Hezbollah without causing a civil war, which Hezbollah might win. )

.. Lebanese media report extensive destruction by the IDF in the village of Miss al-Jabal in southern Lebanon.

.. Reports of an Israeli airstrike on the town of Wadi Slouqi, southern Lebanon.

🔺UNCLEAR INCIDENT IN JUDEA - IDF: A report was received about heavy stones being thrown by Arabs at an Israeli vehicle carrying civilians, one of whom was a reserve soldier. Gunfire was directed at the suspects. Two Arabs were shot and killed, with others injured. A mob responded, and the IDF responded to control and disperse the crowd. The incident is being investigated.

🇬🇧UK - ARSON ATTACKERS AGAINST JEWISH SITES ARRESTED - Eight people were arrested by the counter-terrorism unit. The arrests were made as part of an investigation into suspected arson of targets related to the Jewish community.

🟤IRAN ROUND UP, THE TERRORIST MEMORIAL, LEBANON LIKE GAZA, HAMAS COMPLAINS, and THE MOSSAD SAYS - Tue morn April 21 Israel NOW headlines

🟤IRAN ROUND UP, THE TERRORIST MEMORIAL, LEBANON LIKE GAZA, HAMAS COMPLAINS, and THE MOSSAD SAYS - Tue morn April 21 Israel NOW headlines

🅸🆂🆁🅰️🅴🅻 🄽🄾🅆 - “You are more factual than the mainstream news”, subscriber “P”

🇮🇱Memorial Day for the fallen soldiers and terror victims in Israel, may G-d avenge their blood!

🇮🇱Independence Day starts tonight.

🇮🇷🇺🇸IRAN ROUND UP -

The Iranians continue to say they will not negotiate, “‏We do not accept negotiations under threat, and in the past two weeks we have prepared to reveal new cards on the battlefield” and “one of the Iranian demands is a public American statement about lifting the naval blockade of Iran prior to negotiations."

Trump is getting frustrated, “Trump is tired of this situation and wants to end it.”

The Pakistani’s say Iran will negotiate, “The Iranian parliament speaker Ghalibaf and the Iranian delegation will arrive this morning in Pakistan” and warn Trump “Messages were conveyed to Trump warning him against using harsh language in public.”

The American’s have convinced themselves, “US Ambassador to the UN: We are convinced that Iran will participate in the talks and give up its nuclear ambitions” and White House spokesperson, “The US has never been closer to achieving a truly good deal with Iran than now.”

Pakistan has asked the US and Iran to extend the ceasefire by 2 weeks, to allow time for negotiations.

But a senior US official says, “It is likely that Trump will not extend the ceasefire with Iran that ends tomorrow.”

Iran’s blocking of the Strait is having a massive impact: 2,000 ships stuck and 20,000 sailors trapped. Warnings of a global agricultural crisis following the loss of a third of the fertilizer trade (which is produced from natural gas).

The “preparatory delegations” from the US and Iran have arrived in Pakistan, but the negotiators from either side have not.

In their blockade, the US shot at and took control of an Iranian cargo ship, which initial reports say contained the chemical material for manufacturing ballistic missile fuel.

❓THE “PALESTINIAN TERRORIST” MEMORIAL EVENT - one of the strangest ceremonies on Israel Memorial Day for Fallen Soldiers and Terror Victims, is the “Joint Israeli-Palestinian Memorial Ceremony” which ‘honors’ all those lost, including the terrorists and the human shields they hid behind. The ‘ceremony’ location is hidden, as in past years it has been crashed, and rebroadcast at various locations. This year’s ceremony was crashed at its rebroadcast locations by nationalistic protesters, which drove off the participants.

♦️GAZA - IDF airstrike on a Hamas checkpoint in northwest Khan Yunis, Gaza.

♦️LEBANON - the IDF is demolishing buildings in Beit Leif and Bint Jbeil, both with explosives and huge dozers. In words of the Lebanese, it’s starting to look like Gaza.

🔹HAMAS COMPLAINS - Hamas said it held meetings in Cairo with mediators and Palestinian factions to complete implementation of the first phase of the Sharm el‑Sheikh agreement, which it claims Israel has failed to honor. The terror group stressed the need to compel Israel to implement its commitments before serious talks on the second phase can begin.

Hamas also confirmed that it has engaged constructively with proposals and is committed to continuing negotiations to reach an acceptable deal under U.S. President Trump’s plan, aiming to end the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, secure a full Israeli withdrawal, and begin reconstruction.

🔹FORMER MOSSAD CHIEF SAYS - at the Memorial Day ceremony at the Museum of Tolerance: No agreement and no ceasefire will change Iran's ambitions.

The Most Important

akiva@mpaths.com (Reb Akiva) — Tue, 21 Apr 2026 07:01:32 +0300

by Reb Gutman Locks

The Most Important

James asked;

What is the most important focus in this time?

Adding a new mitzvah?

Perfecting the existing ones?

Focusing on the Unity Inherent in All?

Simple acts of Mercy/Kindness/Charity?

Meditation to stay calm amidst chaos?

Gutman’s reply:

Always, the most important mitzvah to do is the one at hand, i.e., the one you are doing.

All of the things on your list are good, however, at this time, a Jew loving his fellow Jew is particularly essential as it will especially help to bring Jews together. Hashem sends us these horrible, evil people to unite us. When we fight with each other these evils bring us back together. If we would stay united, we would not need to have these horrible things happen.

Hashem watch over all of us, especially at these times of war.

🟣THE SITUATION, CEASEFIRE TROUBLE IN LEBANON, TALKS NOT-OR MAYBE-OR NOT WITH IRAN, TRUMP TRUMPS, and WAR PREP - Mon night April 20 Israel NOW headlines

🟣THE SITUATION, CEASEFIRE TROUBLE IN LEBANON, TALKS NOT-OR MAYBE-OR NOT WITH IRAN, TRUMP TRUMPS, and WAR PREP - Mon night April 20 Israel NOW headlines

🅸🆂🆁🅰️🅴🅻 🄽🄾🅆 - “You are more factual than the mainstream news”, subscriber “P”

🇮🇱Memorial Day for the fallen soldiers and terror victims in Israel.

ℹ️SITUATION SUMMARY - (1) back and forth attacks in Lebanon between Hezbollah and the IDF. Trump insists Lebanon and Israel talk, and maybe the ceasefire be extended - but the Lebanese won’t talk, and Hezbollah moving to attack.

(2) maximum rhetoric between Iran, who won’t give an inch and won’t come to talks, and Trump, who is alternatively talking about the great fantastic awesome deal and threatening to level Iran. Neither side has actually arrived for talks though they were supposed to, though Pakistan and CNN say the parties will arrive Tuesday and talk Wednesday.

It is IMPOSSIBLE to know if talks will actually happen, if the Iranians will actually arrive, and if they do whether they actually have sufficient internal power to make a deal, as it seems the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corp is now in control. We are very much in a wait and see situation.

AND, alternatively, either the US or Iran could take preemptive action. In both Memorial Day and Independence Day activities, one should keep a plan in mind if the situation changes on short notice.

🇱🇧CEASEFIRE WITH LEBANON FAILING - US State Department spokesperson: Washington will not hold a second round of negotiations between the ambassadors of Lebanon and Israel this Thursday.

.. IDF targeted elimination of 3 Hezbollah terrorists at a cafe.

.. Hezbollah: “We will bring down the 'red line' declared by Israel through the resistance."

.. IDF attacked a “Zik”, a vehicle carrying several terrorists in the Litani area who were moving towards the yellow line.

🇮🇷TALKS WITH IRAN LEANING TOWARDS NOT HAPPENING - Tehran: Our opinion has not changed, we will not come to talks.

.. US Vice President Vance is still in the US and has not left for Pakistan.

.. Trump: I expect the fighting to resume if no agreement is reached.

.. Pakistani sources: Iran's refusal to come to the second round of peace talks with the US is a 'show'!

.. CNN: VP Vance will only travel on Tuesday, the talks with Iran in Pakistan will be held on Wednesday.

🇺🇸TRUMP ON THE WAR WITH IRAN - Trump: ''Israel did not push me to war with Iran. October 7 strengthened the position I have believed in all my life - Iran must not have nuclear weapons.’’

.. and “The Strait of Hormuz will remain closed (to Iranian shipping) until a deal is signed.”

.. and “The (US/Israel - Iran) ceasefire will end on Wednesday night. Bombs will fall when the ceasefire expires.”

🇺🇸🇮🇱WAR PREP - US air refuelers noted headed east to staging areas.

.. Israeli hospitals complete prep for rapid transfer to underground facilities. Outpatient and non-urgent surgeries have been paused in some centers. Orders arrived to discharge patients early if possible to free up space.

🇮🇱DURING THE WAR - ISRAELI EMBASSY IN THE UAE HIT - A UAV penetrated the defense systems of the Emirates and hit a building that served the Israeli embassy, while Israelis were present. By a miracle, the incident ended without casualties.

🇮🇱MEMORIAL DAY CULTURAL SABOTAGE - in a rather strange story, in a major shift the Haredi sector is memorializing their fallen, from Netach Yehuda, with heavy attendance from major rabbis from the Haredi sector. But in an attempt to sabotage the ceremony, 700 tickets where purchased in advance in an attempt to prevent the public from attending and to leave the hall empty.

🧭CEASEFIRE DEADLINE LOOMS, IRAN ON ALERT, SAYS NO AND YES, TRUMP THREATENS, and ELECTION YEAR POLITICS - Sun eve April 19 Israel NOW headlines

🅸🆂🆁🅰️🅴🅻 🄽🄾🅆 - Elon Musk recently wrote, “…most legacy media lies relentlessly to the public. You are the media now.”

🧭CEASEFIRE COUNTDOWN -

Iran/USA/Israel, ends Wed April 22, 1:30 AM Israel time

Lebanon/Israel, ends Mon April 27, midnight Israel time

🇮🇷IRAN ON ALERT - Iran's security and intelligence system is at peak alert (High Alert) following assessments in the country that a combined attack by the US and Israel may be carried out with the ceasefire coming to an end.

The entire leadership entered bunkers this morning in anticipation of an immediate attack.

🇮🇷SAYS NO TO TALKS AND YES - Iranian news agency Tasnim: For now, there is no decision to send a delegation for talks with the US as long as the naval blockade in the Strait of Hormuz is in effect.

.. Iranian sources: Our delegation will arrive on Tuesday. Expect a joint statement the following day about extending the ceasefire.

Which is it? Good question.

🇮🇷IRANIAN PRESIDENT - says, while paid demonstrators shout “DEATH TO AMERICA” in Tehran, “Trump has no justification to deny us nuclear rights.”

.. Yet, “3 American and regional diplomatic sources say that Iran has agreed to hand over all the enriched uranium it possesses”, though perhaps to Pakistan.. who may quietly hand it back.

🇮🇱NETANYAHU ON IRAN - “New developments can happen at any moment.”

🇮🇱NETANYAHU REQUESTED TO PUT OFF - his trial for tomorrow, due to national security. The prosecution objected on the basis of “hey, we don’t see anything blowing up right now”. The judges sided with Netanyahu.

And they are already spending, last month paying NIS 626,000 for Facebook ads. In polls, Yesh Atid loses 3/4, dropping to 6 seats, and in some polls might not even make the minimum. Among their current MK’s, they know they won’t be returning to the Knesset and may be looking to switch to Bennett or Yashar if Yesh Atid doesn’t choose to run together with Bennett or Eisenkot.

🇸🇾SYRIAN INTERIOR MINISTRY - We arrested a Hezbollah cell and seized missile launchers in the Quneitra province (near the Israeli border) that were ready to be launched with the aim to “damage stability”.

🟠2 HEROES HAVE FALLEN, IRAN TELLS THE EU OFF, and TRUMP, and “IS WINNING”, 3 ARSON ATTACKS ON JEWS IN THE UK, and ARAB ON ARAB - Sun morn April 19 Israel NOW headlines

🟠2 HEROES HAVE FALLEN, IRAN TELLS THE EU OFF, and TRUMP, and “IS WINNING”, 3 ARSON ATTACKS ON JEWS IN THE UK, and ARAB ON ARAB - Sun morn April 19 Israel NOW headlines

🅸🆂🆁🅰️🅴🅻 🄽🄾🅆 - “Thanks for the best and most succinct analysis of what’s going on”, subscriber “Rebbitzen H”

🩸2 HERO SOLDIERS HAVE FALLEN - in separate instances in battle in south Lebanon SINCE the ceasefire: Lidor Porat, 31 from Ashdod. And Barak Kalfon, 48 from Adi. May their families be comforted among the mourners of Zion and Jerusalem, and may G-d avenge their blood! In both cases they encountered hidden explosive devices. Noting at 48, Barak was volunteering to duty.

▪️KIRYAT SHMONA - (northern border city) The city and school systems are closed in protest of the ceasefire and lack of safety for the city residents. Everyone is encouraged to travel to the Knesset to protest. The demands: dismantle Hezbollah, protection and fortification for the city.

🇮🇷IRAN TELLS THE EU OFF - The spokesperson of the Iranian Foreign Ministry responds to the European foreign policy chief regarding the Strait of Hormuz, "Save your lectures... Europe's chronic failure to implement what it promises has turned its talk about 'international law' into the height of hypocrisy. And the right to free passage without conditions this myth ended when the American-Israeli aggression brought its military bases to the strait.”

🇮🇷AND TELLS TRUMP OFF - Iranian Parliament leader Qalibaf, “we do not agree on those 15 clauses but there are these 10 clauses, if you agree we will talk about it.” And “I am ready for martyrdom, I am ready to shed blood and endure difficult times.”

.. The Pakistani delegation that was in Tehran until Saturday evening tried to get a clear response from Iran to the US requests. But it seems that Tehran continues to insist on its initial red line regarding uranium enrichment and the storage of weapons grade uranium.

🇮🇷AND TELLS THEIR “WINNING” STORY - Qalibaf, “We are the winners of the battlefield in this war… I hear from our dear friends, and national media, that we have destroyed their military forces. Let's destroy the rest of them too. Let's not negotiate. I want to say that we are definitely the winner of the battlefield. This is why Trump has a request for a ceasefire. We have to realize this."

🇺🇸TRUMP ON ISRAEL - ‘Whether people love Israel or not, they have proven themselves to be great allies of the United States of America. They are brave, bold, loyal, and smart, and unlike others who revealed their true nature in moments of conflict and pressure, Israel fights hard and knows how to win!’

🇬🇧3 ARSON ATTACKS in London at Jewish institutions: Petrol-filled bottles were thrown at the Finchley Synagogue 4 days ago (failed to explode), and last night there was an arson attempt at a Jewish charity building (minor fire damage) in Hendon. These follow a burning of the Jewish volunteer ambulance service ambulances a few weeks ago, raising concerns of a pattern of arson attacks against Jews in London. Police have not classified the latest attempt as terror.

🔻RED ON RED - On Shabbat, in the Arab village of Khirbet Tzafa near Bat Ayin in Gush Etzion, a large scale clan war broke out. Hours of gun battles with 2 killed, and 23 houses and 11 shops were lit on fire. The IDF did not intervene, as this was 100% inside an Arab village, eventually the Palestinian Authority ‘police’ responded. Bat Ayin remain tense and on alert with this battle merely a few hundred meters away on the next hilltop, and noted that their ‘neighbor’ apparently has an armory worth of weapons at hand.

🧭CEASEFIRE COUNTDOWN -

Iran/USA/Israel, ends Wed April 22, 1:30 AM Israel time

Lebanon/Israel, ends Mon April 27, midnight Israel time

This Causes This

akiva@mpaths.com (Reb Akiva) — Sun, 19 Apr 2026 07:10:57 +0300

by Reb Gutman Locks

This Causes This

There is a basic Torah teaching, middah k’neged middah. It means, “What goes around comes around.” It is learned from Hillell when he saw a skull floating on top of the water. He said (to it): "Since you drowned [others, others] drowned you. And in the end, those that drowned you will be drowned.”

Not only do negative deeds bring about more negative deeds, but certainly good deeds bring about more good deeds. This is an added reason for doing something good. Not only did you please Hashem when you did that first good deed, but doing it will bring you the opportunity to do another good deed.

Do something good today and see if you can recognize what further good opportunity it brought to you… and that will bring you another good opportunity....

.. BUT, “Trump told reporters a short while ago, without elaborating: We received very good news about Iran 20 minutes ago. It seems things will be fine in the Middle East regarding Iran” … and later in the day: “We will have more information by the end of the day, we will not let Iran blackmail us.”

🇺🇸US ON THE MOVE - Continuous air bridge of US transport planes, 24/7 into the Middle East.

.. Aircraft carrier Ford has left the Med and transited the Suez into the Red Sea heading to the Arabian Sea.

🇮🇷IRAN CLOSES THE STRAIT - Iran closes the Strait of Hormuz due to "violations" by the US, 3 tanker ships attempted to pass ATTACKED and HIT.

🇮🇷IRAN SAYS NO DEAL - A spokesman for the Revolutionary Guards claims they did not agree to hand over enriched uranium to the US - it's all lies.

.. Supposedly from the Supreme Leader of Iran, in writing as he has not been seen since the initial attack, “We will announce additional military measures on a broader scale.”

.. Iran has not yet agreed to hold another round of talks due to Trump's announcement about continuing the naval blockade.

The enemy always stabs in the back. Take a breath and stay on alert.” Following his statement, many Lebanese who returned to the south turned around and left.

.. Hezbollah clarifies that it will not allow a situation of ongoing Israeli attacks during the ceasefire, as was the case in the past year and a half and remained without Hezbollah's response.

Shabbat Shalom!

⚠️PEACE IN OUR TIME - HOME FRONT COMMAND - all restrictions have been lifted across the country, except on the northern border where gatherings have a 1,000 person limit until tomorrow night.

🇱🇧HEZBOLLAH SAYS - Hezbollah official: “We are currently investing in protests and demonstrations in Western countries, especially among college students. We already have Muslim students agitating, but it’s the Western students themselves who will destroy their own countries.”

🇺🇸TRUMP ON “PEACE” - “Israel is forbidden from bombing Lebanon any longer. They are PROHIBITED from doing so by the U.S.A. Enough is enough!!!” ( This seems to be a political reaction to claims Israel is telling Trump what to do. See, now he is telling Israel what to do. ) [ The heart of kings is in the hands of Hashem. And politicians are always focused on what is best for them. ]

.. “Our naval blockade on Iran will continue until an agreement is reached.”

🇮🇱NETANYAHU RESPONDS - "At the request of my friend President Trump… we agreed to a temporary ceasefire in Lebanon. At his request, an opportunity will be given to advance a combined political and military solution with the Lebanese government.

There were two threats from Lebanon - a near threat and a distant threat: The near threat - infiltration of thousands of terrorists into our territory and anti-tank fire at our communities. And the distant threat, which (Hezbollah leader) Nasrallah built over the years - the firing of 150,000 missiles and rockets intended to destroy Israeli cities. We removed both of these threats.”

🇮🇷IRAN MOCKS - President of Iran: ''Our enemies thought they would defeat us - and Israel had to declare a ceasefire’’.

.. Iranian Foreign Minister Arachi - “Following the ceasefire in Lebanon, the Strait of Hormuz is now completely open until the end of the ceasefire.”

🛢OIL PRICES DROP over 10%, to $84 per barrel.

▪️SHEKEL UP? UP! New Israeli Shekel reaches 2.96 to $1.

✡️NOTICE - in honor of the holy Sabbath (Shabbat Kodesh), we DO NOT post news from sundown Friday through nightfall Saturday, Israel time - except IN THE EVENT OF AN EMERGENCY where information can be life saving (we do passively monitor).

🧭CEASEFIRE COUNTDOWN

- Iran/USA/Israel, ends Wed April 22, 1:30 AM Israel time

- Lebanon/Israel, ends Mon April 27, midnight Israel time

❗️CEASEFIRE ATTACK - 6 IDF soldiers were injured in southern Lebanon as a result of an explosive device, two of them seriously. All fighters were evacuated for medical treatment and their families informed. ( Currently UNCONFIRMED from official sources. )

.. Enemy sources state the IDF is demolishing buildings in IDF held areas of Bint Jbeil.

❓AMAZON? We previously reported that Amazon is resuming shipping to Israel. However, I continue to see the message “we cannot accept new orders or provide delivery to your area at this time.” It appears the report was wrong.

🇱🇧HEZBOLLAH CELEBRATES - Southern Lebanese Hezbollah supporters the Shiites went out to celebrate their "victory" with chants of "Shiite, Shiite." The Shiites of the Iranian / Hezbollah axis have repeatedly proven, there is no rationality or logic in their actions or in the way they perceive reality. Real change will only come when their opposition is empowered and they’ll be too busy in a struggle for survival, cultural or otherwise, to chase the Jews.

.. A senior Hezbollah official: the organization is satisfied with the ceasefire, but has no intention of disarming. According to him, "the war only strengthened our determination," and the agreement was reached thanks to the "resilience of the resistance."

📞IRAN-US TALKS - Pakistani source: An agreement between the US and Iran is in the final drafting stage. The next meeting will mainly be a signing ceremony. ( This seems … unlikely. And it remains in question who on the Iranian side actually has the ability to enforce an approach on the IRGC. )

💩GAZA - HAMAS REJECTS - Hamas rejected the disarmament plan presented by the “Peace Council”.

🇬🇧DRONE ATTACK ON THE ISRAELI EMBASSY IN LONDON - A terrorist organization operated by the Revolutionary Guards in London takes responsibility for launching drones towards the Israeli embassy in London, including in their video a claim of use of a chemical weapon. British bomb disposal and hazardous materials experts were rushed to the embassy.

▪️HAREDI DRAFT UP - In the past week, 460 new recruits enlisted in the tracks designated for the Haredi community. This is a significant jump in recruits arriving from the Haredi community.

▪️REALLY? Police officers who were called to the home of a 91-year-old woman with whom contact was lost found her immersed in a computer game.

🟪AMAZON, and about BEN GVIR, SOUTHERN LEBANESE RETURN, MORE CEASEFIRE DETAILS, and GAZA PHASE 2 is back - Fri morn April 17 Israel NOW headlines

akiva@mpaths.com (Reb Akiva) — Fri, 17 Apr 2026 09:55:00 +0300

🟪AMAZON, and about BEN GVIR, SOUTHERN LEBANESE RETURN, MORE CEASEFIRE DETAILS, and GAZA PHASE 2 is back - Fri morn April 17 Israel NOW headlines

🅸🆂🆁🅰️🅴🅻 🄽🄾🅆 - “Thanks for the best and most succinct analysis of what’s going on”, subscriber “Rebbitzen H”

✡️Erev (before) Shabbat, Parshiot (combined Torah reading) Tazria-Metzora - The Parshiot continue the discussion of the laws of tumah v’taharah, ritual impurity and purity.

📺VIDEO - Southern Lebanese, Shiite muslims who support Hezbollah, return joyously to southern Lebanon with the ceasefire.

❗️AMAZON resumes shipping to Israel. ( Israelis rejoice. )

🇮🇱BEN GVIR - The High Court hearing on the Attorney General’s demand that the Prime Minister dismiss Nat. Sec. Minister Ben Gvir was held. Here is a brief summary and explanation:

Attorney General’s side: Having a minister with actual authority over the police is bad, because it has the - - potential - - to allow the government to use the police against political opponents. We instructed the minister of police to not manage the police, but he did some management. This is dangerous, he must go.

Govt and Minister’s side: The justice system has no basis to dismiss or demand the dismissal of a minister unless the minister is accused of a crime, which is not the case. The minister is ‘accused’ of actions such as telling the police to be consistent in managing large protests (treating the Tel Aviv anti-govt protests the same as the Jerusalem anti-draft protests) and to manage terror prisoners less gently - actions clearly in the purview of the ministry.

The court: Seems to be of the position that the two sides should revise their “what is reasonable for the minister’s powers in this ministry” agreement and come back in 2 weeks.

🇮🇷SOUTHERN LEBANESE residents and Hezbollah militants are streaming back en masse into Hezbollah areas, with the ceasefire in place.

The IDF has warned them not to return to the fighting areas, at risk of their lives. And the Lebanese army “calls on the public not to return to the south of the country for now.”

🤝MORE CEASEFIRE DETAILS - US State Department: "Israel will maintain its right to take all necessary measures for self-defense, at any time, against planned, imminent, or ongoing attacks. Lebanon will take significant steps to prevent Hezbollah and other non-state armed groups in Lebanese territory from carrying out any attacks against Israeli targets."

.. Hezbollah: "A ceasefire has come into effect and we will return stronger, immense, and determined.”

.. Iranian parliament member: ‘The ceasefire in Lebanon is the result of the unity of the resistance axis. We will remain together until achieving a complete victory.’

.. Trump: “I hope Hezbollah will behave nicely and properly during this important period … No more killing. We must finally reach peace.” And “It may have been a historic day for Lebanon. Good things are happening!”

💩REMEMBER GAZA PHASE 2? Here’s a summary of the plan that is being pushed: Clear area by area in Gaza, cleanse the tunnels, Hamas hands over the weapons (in that area), and bring in local police (250,000 locals have registered as ‘available for work in security’). Even if Hamas does not hand over all its weapons, they say in Washington, its people and armaments will be limited to a very small area in Gaza, which will be much easier to conquer.

Qatar seems to be abandoning Hamas, particularly due to its support of Iran during the recent (current?) war as Iran was hitting Qatar.

Israel does not believe Hamas will do more than a symbolic handing over of weapons, which will also be conditioned on a deep IDF withdrawal. And Israel having kept Hamas behind the “yellow line” has created a new more viable security paradigm for southern Israel.

🟩CEASEFIRE TERMS, LEBANON COMPLAINS, HEAVY ROCKET FIRE, TRUMP SAYS - Thu night April 16 Israel NOW headlines

🟩CEASEFIRE TERMS, LEBANON COMPLAINS, HEAVY ROCKET FIRE, TRUMP SAYS - Thu night April 16 Israel NOW headlines

🅸🆂🆁🅰️🅴🅻 🄽🄾🅆 - “Thanks for the best and most succinct analysis of what’s going on”, subscriber “Rebbitzen H”

✡️Tonight is Rosh Chodesh Iyar, the new Jewish month of Iyar. May it be a month of blessings.

📺VIDEO - Rocket impact in Nahariya, several cars set on fire.

💩CEASEFIRE TERMS - 10 days. Short version: Israel retains the right to take all necessary measures in self-defence against planned, imminent or ongoing attacks.

Lebanon will take meaningful steps to prevent Hezbollah and other armed groups from carrying out attacks against Israeli targets.

Israel will not carry out any offensive military operations against Lebanese targets, including civilian, military, and other state targets, in the territory of Lebanon by land, air, and sea.

( No reasonable explanation provided of the sudden urgent need for a ceasefire, exactly as Israel was capturing Hezbollah strongholds. In instant polls, 82% of Israelis are against a ceasefire. The only conceivable explanation is some major concession by Iran dependent on an Israeli ceasefire against Hezbollah. )

🇱🇧LEBANON COMPLAINS - “South Lebanon has been almost completely erased from the map, all Shia villages have turned into ruins and ashes.” ( Well, not exactly, but those close to the border have been. )

🚀HEAVY FIRE - Heavy barrages of rockets from Hezbollah into northern Israel. At the Tomb of Rabi Shimon bar Yochai in Meron, traditionally visited on the new Jewish month, police are asking visitors to evacuate immediately due to fear of heavy fire.

.. The IDF has started a wave of extensive attacks to thwart launches throughout Lebanon. ( But NOT to do additional damage to Hezbollah, while they are doing so to us. )

.. Several rocket hits in Karmiel and in Nahariya. Several serious injured.

🇺🇸TRUMP SAYS - "Iran's agreed to that and they've agreed to it very powerfully. They've agreed to give us back the nuclear dust. It's way underground because of the attack we made with the B-2 bombers."

📺PHOTO - IDF soldiers found a massive weapons cache in a school in Bint Jbeil in southern Lebanon. This is why civilian buildings are a valid target in Lebanon. The IDF subsequently demolished the school.

⭕LONG RANGE ROCKET FIRE from HEZBOLLAH at Central Israel, hit an open area, no alarms.

🇱🇧CEASEFIRE? PEACE? - Initial report: The President of Lebanon informed US Sec of State Rubio that he will not speak with Netanyahu.

.. FORCED 10 DAY CEASEFIRE, declared by President Trump, with Lebanon to take effect at midnight. Warnings of possible major rocket fire in the last 30 minutes before.

.. TRUMP: “I just had excellent talks with President Joseph Aoun, the very honorable President of Lebanon, and with the Prime Minister of Israel, Bibi Netanyahu. Both leaders agreed to start an official 10-day ceasefire from 5:00 PM Eastern (daylight) Time (midnight Israel time) with the aim of achieving peace between their countries.

I will invite the President of Lebanon and the Prime Minister of Israel to the White House. Both sides want to see peace, and I believe it will happen, and soon!"

.. NETANYAHU: Trump asked - I responded to his request. (No other statements from the PM.) During the current ceasefire, our forces will remain in their current positions

.. Hezbollah: We will blow up the ceasefire if IDF forces remain in Lebanon. The ceasefire cannot include any freedom of action for the enemy that will return us to what was before March 2.

♦️IDF ATTACKED THE LAST BRIDGE over the Litani river in south Lebanon.

🇪🇺EU FUEL PROBLEMS - International Energy Agency: Europe has 'maybe' 6 weeks of jet fuel left (meaning for civilian air travel).

🇸🇾US LEAVES SYRIA - The US has completed withdrawal of its forces from Syria, with the last convoy leaving the Kessarak base in the northeast of the country. This ends the US presence in Syria since 2014.

🇺🇸US THREATENS - US Sec of War: to Iran, "We are watching you. We know which military assets you are moving and where. We know you are digging out your launchers and missiles from the attacked sites. Remember - this is not a fair fight. We are getting stronger."

🟦PROPAGANDA, LONG RANGE ROCKET, WHITE HOUSE SAYS, BLOCKADE, HEZBOLLAH CEASEFIRE? IRAN THINKS THEY WON, TRAFFIC TICKET PUSH, INFLATION DOWN, SHEKEL UP - Thu morn April 16 Israel NOW headlines

akiva@mpaths.com (Reb Akiva) — Thu, 16 Apr 2026 11:22:00 +0300

📺PHOTO - Anti-Israel propaganda at its worst: The actual photo, 70 Arabs from Judea/Samaria are attempting to be smuggled into Israel, probably for work. What is presented: “the IDF transports Palestinians in a garbage truck”.

🟦PROPAGANDA, LONG RANGE ROCKET, WHITE HOUSE SAYS, BLOCKADE, HEZBOLLAH CEASEFIRE? IRAN THINKS THEY WON, TRAFFIC TICKET PUSH, INFLATION DOWN, SHEKEL UP - Thu morn April 16 Israel NOW headlines

🅸🆂🆁🅰️🅴🅻 🄽🄾🅆 - “You are more factual than the mainstream news”, subscriber “P”

⭕LONG RANGE ROCKET FIRE FROM HEZBOLLAH - at 4 AM, fired at central Israel, fell in an open area. No alarms.

🇺🇸Today at 15:00 Israel time there is an important announcement from the US Department of Defense regarding a significant security update.

🇺🇸US ON THE MOVE - The US is sending more than 10,000 additional troops to the Middle East, navy and marines.

🇺🇸WHITE HOUSE SAYS - “The reports that we requested an extension of the ceasefire are not true. The talks with Iran are ongoing and they are effective. The next talks will also take place in Pakistan and will be Iran's last opportunity.”

“We have told countries that if they are buying Iranian oil, or if Iranian money is sitting in their banks, we are now willing to apply secondary sanctions.”

🇺🇸US SENATE - blocks a bill to stop arms sales to Israel, 40-59, and rejects a resolution calling for a halt to the US - Iran “operation”.

🚢BLOCKADE - A cargo ship under the Iranian flag tried to evade the American blockade after leaving Bandar Abbas, exited the Strait of Hormuz, and traveled along the Iranian coastline. The destroyer USS Spruance (DDG 111) successfully blocked the ship, which was on its way back to Iran. Ten ships have now been turned back.

🇱🇧HEZBOLLAH CEASEFIRE? US official: ”Washington has not asked Israel to cease fire in Lebanon and this is not part of the negotiations with Iran".

An Israeli official said at the end of last nights cabinet meeting: "at this stage, we are not approaching a ceasefire."

🇮🇷IRAN THINKS THEY WON - Spokesperson of the Iranian Foreign Ministry: Iran's right to peaceful use of nuclear energy is a right that no one gave us for them to take it away from us by pressure or war. Iran's right to enrich uranium is part of its rights according to its membership in the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. ( As has been pointed out many times, there is a difference for enriching for civilian use, maximum 15%. Anything over that is MILITARY use. Guess which Iran has been doing? )

.. Senior Iranian Revolutionary Guards officer Hossein Rad'ai: We will not give up the Strait of Hormuz until our rights are fully restored. The Americans fear long wars, but we are fully prepared and experienced in wars of attrition.

.. The military advisor to the Supreme Leader of Iran, General Mohsen Rezaei of the Revolutionary Guards: “I am completely opposed to extending the ceasefire. We must sink every enemy ship in response to the blockade and not let any of them escape."

.. Iranian media: Iran has not yet agreed to extend the ceasefire for another two weeks. ( Which, the White House says, has not been offered. Confused yet? )

⚠️POLICE ENFORCEMENT PUSH - throughout the day: a wide-scale traffic enforcement operation by the police across the country. Hundreds of officers and cameras will be deployed on the roads. ( Great news! Apparently things are calm and safe enough that the police can return to writing tickets! Yay? )

🇮🇱ECONOMY (1) - INFLATION - The annual inflation rate is again falling below two percent: now at 1.9%. That said, there is an outsize impact of items like new housing, which is down due to the war, and gasoline and food, which are significantly up due to the war.

(2) SHEKEL UP! The New Israeli Shekel reached 2.9 to $1, a level not seen in a long long time.

▪️INFILTRATION THWARTED - Police: A woman in her 40’s, a resident of Ramat Gan who has never obtained a driver's license was arrested at the Makabim crossing while transporting eight Arab infiltrators. One of them had previously been convicted of security offenses. Arrested.

▪️JUSTICE MINISTER TO ATTORNEY GENERAL - “I want you to please answer in front of everyone, did you ask (the head of the Shin Bet) to spy on Minister Ben Gvir?”

▪️AFTER A YEAR OF FALSE ACCUSATIONS - by the dismissed Chief Military Prosecutor against Unit 100 in the IDF serving as prison guards of mass murdering invading terrorists, the IDF Chief of Staff as approved the unit’s return to service (it’s a reserve unit).

🌎WORLD NEWS OF NOTE - Turkey deployed tanks right up to the UN buffer zone in Cyprus. Up to 15 tanks were positioned around the village of Pyla; the presence of dozens of Turkish Cypriot police officers in civilian clothes and the raising of the Northern Cyprus flag were also observed. Forces from the British base in Dhekelia are arriving in the area on the Cyprus side.
